I’ll provide the link so you can check it out yourself, it’s part of the magazine’s Ethicist column, where a young university graduate is looking for advice. Here’s part of the letter:

I’m a straight white dude and recent college grad who has very progressive beliefs and is looking for a committed partner who, in time, can equitably raise a family with me,” the letter begins. “I have almost zero honest-to-goodness physical preferences. I’ve dated women of various shapes and sizes, various skin, hair and eye colors, etc., and have been attracted to all of them.

Here’s what’s controversial among my friends: I want to prioritize dating women of color. I’m after a cross-cultural relationship. I believe very strongly that one of the main ways to combat racism is through relationships….Part of the reason that I prioritize it is to combat implicit bias, having grown up in a fairly white, quasi rural place. I am dedicated to educating myself on issues of racism, sexism and other forms of kyriarchy while also learning from marginalized people.

This guy has not been educated, he’s been brainwashed by a Leftist university environment pushing things like Critical Race Theory. He’s going to be a guilt-ridden psychological mess for the rest of his life and women are not attracted to that.

One of the main ways that I hope to combat racism individually is by leveraging my own privilege (economic, family connections, education) for people of color, including any biracial children we bring into this world. Here’s my question: Despite my well-meaning antiracist principles, is this preference (as friends have suggested) wrong, insensitive, or somehow itself racist?”

If you think that’s stomach-churning wait until you see the advice:

Your devotion to self-improvement is impressive….Like a dish of quinoa and kale that you may once have forced down and now actively enjoy, a woman of color could, you think, raise your game, supplying something like antiracist roughage.

I don’t know if America specifically and the West in general is doomed, the election of Trump and the recent rollback of Woke – in that DEI programs and such are starting to be dumped in the academic, government and corporate world (though undoubtedly some of this is just re-naming as they fight to the bitter end) and ordinary people are speaking up saying they hate it – suggests perhaps not.

But it’s going to take a long time, and much heartache for the likes of this poor, stupid bastard, before we can perhaps say that we’ve turned away from all this.
